Birmingham has only two daily newspapers -- theBirmingham News and the Birmingham Post-Herald.

The former is owned by S. I. Newhouse and the
latter by Scripps-Howard. Cox owns the Atlanta
newspapers (except for the Atlanta Times, a new
adventure in right-wing dailyism) but not those
in Birmingham. To go a little further, the Cox
papers in Atlanta, the Journal and Constitution,
have exhibited leadership in racial crises via
Ralph McGill et al; Birmingham was not equally
blessed.
